Hi Jenna! Looping back to this finally - sorry for the wait!
1. We added a new element to the silent auction for players to get their characters some serious credits via the Event Aftermath (just ctrl+F Caroline!). They can also get their objects looked over in the days before the event and see if there's any interest in them! We still don't think this will involve a lot of RP, but it's an opportunity for getting information, especially since Caroline will have resources on hand!
We'd ideally like for the silent auction's success to be directly correlated to how many relics and old goods Caroline gets to have bid on, but we're willing to be flexible about this! We also think it's definitely believable for Caroline to come up with this idea herself, in case you're wondering!
2. NPCs on hand will be gubernatorial candidates Joseph Lynch and Simone Durcell, Elin Zepatka (a fondly thought of philanthropist in New Amsterdam), many members of the more elite members of the Riverside Mob, and Matek Kattan (first mentioned here under the Community Meals section!). Fun fact: Kattan is actually Ball's real name! He's a reclusive person who isn't often seen by the public, but he will make a brief appearance at Caroline's event on both days.
There will also be a lot of charitable folk in the city, but little presence from the big three corporations outside of friends who are close to Elin, Joseph, and Simone. This primarily means employees at Ibis from Giles Bell, as well as employees from Caudata Tech (the subsidiary that Durcell runs) will be present, as both Ibis and Caudata tend to work largely independently of their current corporate overlords (Ibis, for what it's worth, has a lot of clout and has functioned this way for centuries). Otherwise, the corporate boards are still throwing in with the Jovavich campaign. Leading up to the event itself, there will be rumors of them shifting their support to Lynch's campaign, but they won't be making that big move just yet.
For what it's worth, getting the backing Caroline does get on this event will speak well of her, even with her Riverside Mob connections.
Many of our other named wealthy NPCs are not going to appear at a function that is in direct contradiction to Jovavich's campaign and message, so please stick to what we provided here!
3. This location is fine, though if you want to make up a new one, go ahead!
